THE   DEVELOPMENT  OF  SCENIC  ART 
AND   STAGE   MACHINERY 

A  LIST  OF  REFERENCES  IN  THE  NEW  YORK  PUBLIC  LIBRARY

Preface 


'T^HIS  work  is  the  result  of  numerous  requests  made  in  the  Technology  Divi- 
-*-  sion  for  information  concerning  stage  machinery  and  lighting.  In  an 
effort  to  compile  a  short  list  which  should  satisfy  ordinary  wants,  many  refer- 
ences to  excellent  material  on  scene-painting,  scenic  history,  pictures,  and  other 
matters  of  interest  were  noted.  As  these  seemed  too  valuable  to  omit  it  was 
decided,  through  an  extension  of  the  list  into  the  fields  of  literature,  history, 
travel,  and  art,  to  enlarge  the  scope  of  the  first  plan. 

The  work  had  not  progressed  far  before  a  large  number  of  references  to 
stage  pictures  had  been  catalogued.  These  w^ere  published  in  1917  under  the 
title:  "Stage  scenery:  a  list  of  references  to  illustrations  since  1900"  (New 
York  Public  Library  Bulletin,  May  and  June,  1917,  v.  21,  nos.  5  and  6. 
Also  issued  as  a  separate).  References  to  pictures  antedating  1900,  still  in 
manuscript,  may  be  consulted  on  application  to  the  Technology  librarian  in 
Room  115. 

The  following  list  directs  the  reader  into  many  byways  of  interest:  stage 
technique  of  the  ancients  and  the  archaeological  investigations  and  contro- 
versies concerning  it;  the  mediaeval  stage  and  the  various  accounts  of  the 
quaint  apparatus  and  properties  used;  the  Elizabethan  playhouse  and  the  dis- 
cussions as  to  its  true  character;  the  Oriental  stage,  including  the  marvellous 
shadow  puppets  of  the  Javanese;  stage  development  in  England,  France,  Ger- 
many, Spain,  Italy,  Russia,  and  America;  practical  scene  painting;  scenic 
history  from  its  crude  beginnings,  through  the  days  of  Sir  William  D'Avenant 
and  of  De  Loutherbourg,  down  to  the  modern  conceptions  of  Gordon  Craig, 
Granville  Barker,  Leon  Bakst,  and  Max  Reinhardt,  including  the  technique 
of  the  "art  theatres,"  especially  of  Munich,  Paris,  and  IMoscow;  the  history 
and  present  art  of  stage  mechanics  in  which  it  may  be  noted  that  many  of 
the  devices  which  we  claim  as  modern  are  not  so  modern  after  all;  and  finally, 
references  to  the  remarkable  development  of  the  open-air  theatre.
